The biggest benefit of the policy of fooling the people is that before the beautiful soap bubble was exposed, people only saw those brilliant and beautiful appearances. Everyone has nostrils facing the sky and feels extremely good. One day, the most important thing is, and I am the second best.

The biggest problem is that once this beautiful soap bursts out and reveals its ugly true face, everyone is knocked down from the clouds to the dust, everyone's self-confidence suffers an unprecedented critical strike, and immediately changes from the highest arrogance to the lowest absurd.

The people in Chang'an City are generally this kind of people.

During the Tang Dynasty of the previous dynasty, this was the center of the world. They were the sweethearts of the heavens. Perhaps looking at people from other places, they were all rural bullies and mud legs. When they were divided into the Tang Dynasty, Qi State established Chang'an, and Chang'an was still the center of the world. They were still subjects under the feet of the emperor. The mentality of heaven being the first and second in heaven was able to continue.

After maintaining this mentality for more than a thousand years, Chang'an people have formed a deep-rooted and solid concept that they are the center of the world and the strongest group of people in the world.

People can have confidence, but not arrogant, they can have pride, but they cannot be arrogant.

Qi wanted to conceal the true situation of the world in every way. The Ming people destroyed Qin and Chu. In their propaganda, this was Da Qi who drove the Ming Dynasty, a frontman, to clear obstacles for them to unify the world. After the Ming Dynasty completed these things, Da Qi would naturally have a fatal blow to Ming State and finally complete the great cause of unification of the world.

In the eyes of the people of Qi, this is a matter of course. The poor Ming Dynasty first fought hard against the Qin people who were so poor that they had only one life left, and then fought against the richest Chu people in the world. After two major battles, although they won, they would inevitably have the decline of people's livelihood and the national strength was greatly damaged. In this process, the State of Qi was always sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, raising energy and accumulating strength to pick the final fruit.

This is simply a classic version of the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Until today, the Ming Dynasty airship dragged the huge sun and moon flag, and appeared in the ruling center of Qi in an open land. After Chang'an City, these people saw the truth blocked by layers of fog in a daze.

Ming Dynasty seemed not weak at all.

They actually have the ability to launch a direct attack on Chang'an?

They didn't know what was flying in the sky, but the Ming flag was too conspicuous. The people who were buying New Year's goods on the street stopped, raised their heads, and stared blankly as the huge flying objects passed by on their heads.

Some of them are holding rice bowls and wine glasses, while others are holding cloth and some wax goods they have just bought. Women are holding children, and children are holding frosted sugar in their mouths. Men are carrying loads, pushing carts, or standing on horseback, or poking half of their bodies out of the carriage.

The postures are different, but the expressions are quite unified, that is, the eyes are dull and wide, staring at the flying objects in the sky.

What is this?

Can you fly in the sky?

Can the Ming people actually invade Chang'an directly?

This is the question of all the people who can still be active at this moment.

Tian Fen was quite old in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After the emperor neglected him for a while, he once again handed over the internal affairs of Qi to him. However, at this time, Qi was already full of holes, and his form was much worse than when the previous emperor was in power.

This is not to say how bad Cao Yun himself is, but before that, the Ming people had been slowly making arrangements. In the two years before Cao Yun ascended the throne, this layout made rapid progress with the signing of a peace agreement between the two sides. When all the layouts were completed, all the chess pieces in the open and secrets were launched at the same time, the form of Qi deteriorated in an instant.

Compared with the rulers of Qi, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperors to the senior officials of the ministry, they had little clever understanding of non-violent weapons such as economy and finance. Especially in the conquest of Chu, they had accumulated too much experience, gained a deeper understanding of these things, and learned more hidden means of destruction, and these means were all used to the people of Qi without exception.

When the people of Qi learned from the lessons of Chu and tried their best to resist the Ming Dynasty's invasion in this regard, they did not know that the people of Ming changed countless methods and replaced their new outfits, and then implemented them on the people of Qi without any obstacles.

This is a cognitive gap, just like you want people of this era to understand what precisely guided missiles are. Even if you explain in detail, the other party must think you are telling a myth.

When the Ming people started their precise attack, the porcelain beauties who looked glamorous and beautiful and frozen in Qi people were easily broken.

This is like a domino M card. When the first one falls, the one behind will not be transferred by anyone's will, and will fall one after another, eventually threatening the origin.

Until this time, Cao Yun had not realized that all the roots were in the Ming people. He thought that he was not good at the economy and caused these problems, so he once again entrusted the chief assistant Tian Fen, who had been refrigerated for a long time, and hoped that the old chief assistant could turn the tide.

However, Tian Fen is not a god. After coming out of the mountain, the only thing he can do is to work hard to be a good papermaker, tear down the east wall, repair the west wall, and strive to maintain the basic operation of an old empire. For this, he used all the tricks of planning to control the economy.

Tian Fen actually knew very well that the economy of Qi was already difficult to return. In the early years, Qi's economy could barely be considered a strong man on the outside but was able to be considered a powerful man on the outside. However, after first, it had been purged of powerful families, and then suffered multiple blows from the Ming Dynasty. Now there was no way out. A large amount of gold and silver flowed out, and a large amount of copper coins were collected and re-smelted to build artillery. There was a money shortage in the country. The court imitated the Ming Dynasty to issue paper money, but did not have a low consignment to ensure the credit of these paper money. Soon after the issuance, it became waste paper, and the people even degenerated into barter.

The serious economic regression caused a significant decline in national tax revenue. In order to support the army, build armies, and enrich the military, the court had to impose intensive taxes and increase taxes. A large number of people abandoned their land and their shops because they could not pay taxes.

At this point, the court has paid a huge price to crack down on the powerful and re-decided land annexation have disappeared.

Tian Fen had a lot of energy and after ten days of high-intensity rotation, he finally fainted in the chief minister's general. Today, he could only barely get up from the bed.

Even if he fell ill, he still had to do things. When Tian Fen returned home, he was still chased and sent a stack of official documents. He could only hold on to his spirits, close his eyes and read the contents of the official documents, and then dictate the handling opinions and then send them out after recording them.

Every time he handles a portion, he always needs to breathe and rest for a while.

The noise outside alarmed Tian Fen in the study.

At this moment, Tian Fen was extremely afraid of making trouble, so his family spoke softly in the big room and walked with caution. But at this moment, someone was yelling and running towards him.

Tian Fen's guard Jiang Tong was furious and stood up to push the door out, trying to lift these ungrateful guys out and throw them directly outside the wall.

"Jiang Tong, help me out and take a look." Tian Fen waved his hand. The people in his mansion would not be the kind of person who panics with a small matter. Something big must have happened.

Jiang Tong walked over and helped Tian Fen up. An old man who was originally tall seemed to have no weight in his body at this moment. He leaned softly on Jiang Tong, almost carrying him out of the study door.

Tian Fen, who was pale-faced, appeared in the yard. The panicked family seemed to have a backbone, no longer ran away or shouted, but pointed his fingers into the sky.

Tian Fen looked up and saw ten airships dragging huge sun and moon flags flying past his mansion.

"Airship!" Tian Fen spitted out two words. Ordinary people didn't know, so he naturally knew. Not only did he know, he also knew very well what these airships meant to be used for?

They came from all the way, could they just drag the flag to show off their power? Looking at the direction of the airship, layers of redness surged on Tian Fen's face. He leaned on Jiang Tong's arm and coughed loudly. On the snow, bright red plum blossoms bloomed in an instant.

"Prime Minister!" Jiang Tong was shocked and wanted to pick up Tian Fen and walk back into the house.

"Don't move, don't move, listen, listen!" Tian Fen clenched Jiang Tong's arms with his fingers. He was so forceful that his long nails were almost embedded in Jiang Tong's muscles.

Tian Fen's prime minister's residence is not too far from the palace, only one street away. Tian Fen raised his head, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes followed the airships.

Then he saw one of the airships, like a hen laying an egg, something as dark as a piece of cake fell from his abdomen, drew an arc in the air, and landed towards the palace in the distance.

After a moment, a sound like thunder came faintly.

"The Ming army airship is bombing the palace!" Jiang Tong changed his fear.

"Otherwise!" Tian Fen lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "They came from afar, so they naturally had to maximize their interests. The most valuable goal of Chang'an City is nothing more than the palace. Jiang Tong, the pattern of war has changed, and from then on, there will be no safe place again. Help me in!"

"The Chief Supervisor, at this time, I think it's safer outside."
